Born and raised in New Jersey and very proud of it; this fact can be seen in all of his movies. His first movie,
Clerks., was filmed in the convenience store in which Smith worked. He was only allowed to shoot at night after the store closed. This movie won the highest award at the Sundance film festival and was brought to theaters by Miramax...See full bio »

2006Back to the Well: 'Clerks II'
(video documentary)
(thanks: Zak And Joey would like to thank, for givin' two dudes from Santa Ana a shot at the wheel - as Kevin)
Each flick I've done is kind of a snapshot of where I was in my life when I wrote it;
Clerks II really speaks to where I am in life at the moment. You don't have to be an analyst to look at the movie and go, "The Quick Stop means a little more than the Quick Stop, and Florida represents something more than just going to Florida"...

Trivia:
In the fall of 2002, the town of Paulsboro in New Jersey named a street after him: Kevin Smith Way. This was in response to Smith using the town to film in.
